Description

Per Tim, we should distribute texvc as a deb, rather than compiling per server as changes to it are so infrequent, like with other dependancies.

That way, it can be installed automatically and people don't forget to run scap-recompile on servers.

Since quantal, there is a package specifically for this, http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/mediawiki-math-texvc . It currently uses the mediawiki-math source package (which also includes the Math PHP).

Perhaps texvc could be split off, so WMF could essentially become the leading edge of mediawiki-math-texvc. This might make more sense if the math subdirectory (which contains texvc) of the Math extension were split into its own repo (perhaps with a git submodule for people not using the mediawiki-math-texvc package).

so this is fixed in our apt repo for mediawiki-math-texvc, e.g.

mw1040:~$ apt-cache policy mediawiki-math-texvc
mediawiki-math-texvc:
